Dexter's executive producer Sara Colleton has promised that the fifth season finale is "big".

In the latest episode of the show, Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller) realised that his former victim Lumen (Julia Stiles) has teamed up with Dexter (Michael C. Hall).

Speaking to TV Guide, Colleton explained that the various threads of the season will begin to come together in the last few episodes.

"All of that will be converging, along with a lot of jeopardy that no-one could've anticipated, not even Dexter," she said. "The last four episodes are a freight train when all of those pieces start interlocking."

Colleton also dropped hints about the penultimate episode, saying: "[It will ask the question,] 'Wouldn't it be nice if you could escape from your life?'"

She added that the season finale is called 'The Big One', saying: "When you see the episode, you'll realise what a great title it is."
